Chapter 396 Record of Strange Voices

Lin Xia asked this question very straightforwardly.

She had communicated with Tom for more than a year, and both parties knew all about each other's details, but at least they had figured out five or six points.

Tom didn't know how Lin Xia knew that he was the soul fragment of Voldemort when he was young, but it wouldn't be surprising if Lin Xia knew it. After all, he also revealed a lot in his daily communication with Lin Xia.

Tom: [I’m not sure, my feeling is not as sharp as the picture frame, but it’s probably what you think]

Lin Xia: [Why do I feel like Hogwarts is like a sieve? It's obviously very tightly guarded, but Death Eaters can come in if they want, and so can Horcruxes]

Tom: [Hogwarts has several secret passages that can lead to the outside world, and the outside world can also come in through the secret passages. When I was in school, the wizards often used these secret passages to enter Hogwarts]

Lin Xia thought for a while and then asked: [According to your calculations, the picture frame has obtained the power of the same source. When will it wake up? 】

Tom: [It will take at least a week. If you destroy the power of the same origin during this period, it will continue to sleep]

Lin Xia suddenly thought of a way.

[Since the forces from the same source can absorb each other, and you and the frame are also from the same source, why don’t you absorb its power? 】

Although the Horcruxes from the outside world continuously provide energy to the picture frame, they do not know their specific location and cannot meet each other.

Naturally, Tom can also snatch this power. They all come from the same source, so they all have a chance.

Tom: [I can absorb it, but I don’t want to. The power of the same source will also be mixed with memory fragments of the same source. Once I absorb other memory fragments, I may not be who I am now]

Lin Xia probably understood.

Tom has this kind of character now, mainly because of his memory that supports him to become this kind of character.

But once the memory becomes numerous and complicated, confusion will occur and the personality will change accordingly.

Voldemort showed signs of mental breakdown and neurosis every time he returned, which may not have been caused by accepting too many memories.

There are countless me's talking to myself in my mind, and I can't tell the difference in thinking between my original self, my old self, and my future self.

In this case, her method cannot be used.

Lin Xia pondered, is the only way to destroy external Horcruxes?

But this Horcrux can be found by looking for it?

This picture frame with Voldemort was put away because she accidentally saw Voldemort's shadow flashing past in the picture frame.

If she hadn't seen it, the picture frame would have been hung on the wall for who knows how long.

She didn't carry Voldemort's Horcrux with her, so it would be even harder to find it since she couldn't attract it from the same source.

The most convenient way is for her to go out with her diary from time to time, but it is impossible for Lin Xia to do this.

She had not forgotten that Tom had the power to confuse people. She had used it in class before and noticed that it would slightly emit evil whispers, making people confused.

Once you communicate with it for a long time, it can also control the person's body to do what it wants, turning the person into a puppet.

Although she and Tom have the same purpose now, Tom's soul also wants to get rid of the body of the diary.

But it is Voldemort's soul after all.

Who knows what it really thinks in its heart, Lin Xia will not give it a chance to test it, there is no need at all.

Lin Xia: [Is there any way for me to find the Horcrux? 】

Tom was silent for a long time, and then a line of words slowly emerged.

[There is a way, but you will bear some risks]

…

Time passed by and it was night.

During evening study, Ron left the common room and came to Filch's office.

The purpose of his coming was to confirm whether he could really go to the showroom to polish the medal.

This was the confinement ordered by Snape himself. He was afraid that Snape would come to trouble him later, so he confirmed it again.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the office.

Ron glanced around. Filch's office was as empty as his people.

He turned to look at the second living creature in the field—Mrs. Norris.

Mrs. Norris is squatting on the table and licking her hair. If you ignore her skinny body, her posture at this time is very elegant.

Ron thought of what Lin Xia had said to him, and couldn't help but focus on what Mrs. Loris was wearing.

You won't know it until you look at it, but you will be shocked at first glance. They are all very small gadgets.

Loris also wore it all before, which once affected her ability to walk. The little wizard even saw her fall down several times.

I don't know since when, the accessories on its body have been replaced by very small ones, which will not affect its pace at all.

If you take a closer look, you will see that those gadgets have a sense of high-end.

Could it be true that as Lin Xia said, it possesses many defensive items?

Ron's eyelids twitched. Good guy, Filch wouldn't have spent all his savings on Mrs. Norris, right?

This is really a cat-loving thing!

Thinking of this, Ron rolled his eyes, smiled flatteringly at Mrs. Norris, and meowed a few times.

"Dear Mrs. Norris, would you please take me to Filch's place? I want to confirm where I will be confined tonight, meow~"

But Mrs. Norris was very cold and ignored him at all, and continued to lick her fur.

Ron couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

Mrs. Norris looked up at him with a charitable look. This look was quite like Professor Snape's.

It jumped off the table, took a few steps forward, and suddenly looked back at Ron.

Ron understood something and immediately followed it.

Originally he thought Mrs. Lorris was taking him to find Filch, but unexpectedly she led him to the showroom.

Mrs. Lorris walked into the showroom, patrolled a few times like an uncle, then turned to look at Ron with disgust, meowed at him, and then quickly left the showroom.

Ron did not follow her. He understood what Mrs. Loris meant. This was his place of confinement today.

Ron muttered: "Not bad, at least you can use magic quietly to be lazy, and you don't have to be fined for endorsement, let alone clean the toilet..."

It's just too boring to be in confinement alone.

If he had known it would be so easy, he should have agreed to Harry's request and let him come over and clean the showroom with him.

Ron hummed as he used it to clean up.

There was no one around, so he simply used the showroom as a KTV room and sang a few songs.

As he sang, he didn't notice a box vibrating tremblingly.

The box makes random noises from time to time, and if placed in a quiet room, it will definitely be noticed.

It's a pity that Ron only focused on singing, and the loud singing voice completely covered up the vibration sound.

After the box vibrated a few times, it realized that it couldn't attract anyone's attention, so it simply stopped vibrating.

This time the confinement passed rather easily.

So much so that when Ron went on late-night patrols, he couldn't help but show off the relief of this confinement.

According to him, Administrator Filch no longer looked hateful, but instead became an amiable little old man.

Harry couldn't help but said: "You don't sound like Filch at all, it sounds like he has changed his gender."

Ron glanced at Lin Xia and saw that she didn't say a word, so he said proudly:

"Maybe Filch noticed my potential and wanted to invest in me, so he gave me good treatment."

Hermione couldn't help but said: "Come on, Ron, we all saw Lin Xia taking you to Filch at noon today.

He obviously does it for Lin Xia's sake. His cat plays well with Lin Xia's White Fairy. I can always see those two cats in the corridor. "

After hearing this, the Weasley twins asked Ron specifically.

George: "Ron, I'd like to interview Administrator Filch."

Fred: "We said hello to him a few times and smiled, but Filch completely ignored us."

George: "Dear Ron, since Filch really wants to invest in you, for your sake, can you let him accept our interview?"

Fred: "My dear brother, you can definitely satisfy us with such a small request, right?"

Ron was a little carried away by the praise from his brothers, so he agreed without saying a word.

Hermione didn't remind him, she felt Ron should be taught a lesson.

Tonight's late-night patrol was uneventful in the first half of the night.

In the second half of the night, the Weasley twins patrolled the corner where they had heard the noise before, and heard another strange sound.

The sound was like a rattling rattle.

The twins looked at each other and immediately took out the video recorder to record.

They not only took out the audio-visual equipment given by the professor, but also took out the recording audio-visual equipment they bought separately.

After recording the sound, they returned to the team and first asked Ron:

"Did you bring Banban out again tonight? I just heard the sound of it moving outside again."

Ron immediately shook his head: "No, I was afraid that the previous situation would happen, so I locked Scabbers in the cage during patrol, and Harry saw it."

George and Fred looked at each other and said in unison: "Then what we just recorded must be a strange phenomenon!"

They went to find the patrol professor tonight.

It was Snape and Professor McGonagall who took turns tonight. George and Fred took out the video player provided by the school and found that there was no sound coming from it. This was very strange.

But after what happened last time, they were well prepared and took out the audio-visual equipment they bought outside.

This time, all of them heard the rustling sound.

The professors rushed over.

But when we arrived at the place, the sound had disappeared. Using detection magic to check, there was nothing abnormal.

Lin Xia thought for a while and said: "So, does this sound appear at a specific time and place? Why don't we ambush at the same time and place tomorrow."

Snape and Professor McGonagall rejected the proposal immediately.

McGonagall said: "No, don't get involved. Our professors will find a way to solve it. You must not act on your own."

She said extremely cautiously: "Weird phenomena are not easy to solve. Once something goes wrong, you are likely to be disturbed by the evil god's whispers. Even if the school sends you many anti-interference tools, it is not 100% safe."

Professor Snape also said coldly: "I thought Hufflepuff did not inherit the lion's recklessness. After staying together for a long time, he also learned Gryffindor's reckless stupidity!"

Ron looked angry and wanted to say something.

Lin Xia stood up and said calmly: "Professor, we will definitely be fully prepared, and we hope you can solve it as soon as possible.

But we have patrol duties, and if we encounter something strange, we will not evade responsibility. "

It's just obvious that Professor McGonagall doesn't want the little wizard to face the strange phenomena.

Starting from the second day, patrols on this floor were stopped.

The little wizard can think of sitting back and waiting, and the professor can also think of it, and he can do more complete things than the little wizard.

Harry and Ron approached Lin Xia and asked, "Should we put on the invisibility cloak and sneak over?"

Lin Xia glanced at them in surprise and asked, "If you encounter danger, do you think you have the ability to solve it?"

Harry knew that he was not capable, but what he thought was: "We are always going to face this kind of thing, so why not go and see it earlier?

And McGonagall and Professor Snape will definitely be there, so we can see how they solve the problem so that we won't panic when we encounter it next time. "

I have to say that Harry's consideration is also right.

With the professor here, we can ensure that the movement is at least safe.

So Lin Xia discussed it with Draco, Hermione and the Weasley twins, and everyone agreed to go secretly to check it out tonight.

No need to go too early, just allow yourself to show up at a specific time.

The day's class ended quickly. Everyone had something on their mind and left quickly after class.

Neville originally wanted to say something to Ron, but when he saw Ron leaving quickly, he was a little confused: "Why are they running so fast?"

Mikel replied casually: "Maybe he wants to be a thief at night."

"By the way, Neville, I have an attack spell that I want to teach you. This spell should be quite suitable for you. This is my improved spell. Please help me try it."

…

Late at night, Harry and others wore invisibility cloaks and quietly left the common room.

Sir Cadogan heard the sound and spoke to the empty corridor: "Come, fight me!"

He waited for a while, but didn't get a reply from the little wizard, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Did I hear wrongly?"

As he spoke, he opened the door to the common room and complained: "The little wizard's fighting spirit has been getting weaker and weaker recently, and even arguing has become weak."

Harry and others took advantage of this and quickly left the door.

As soon as they came to the corridor, they heard a lazy meow. The White Fairy licked her paws, shook her tail, and called to them.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione!"

Lin Xia and others lifted the invisibility spell, and Hermione quickly lifted a corner of the invisibility cloak to let them in.

Ron said excitedly: "We broke school rules together. I didn't expect top students to join us."

Hermione deliberately stepped on Ron.

Ron screamed and asked Harry in a low voice: "Why did I offend her?"

Harry: "You probably messed with her everywhere."

"Shh, don't talk, I heard footsteps." Draco suddenly said.

Soon, they appeared in the corridor from yesterday and found that five professors were here.

These professors looked serious and waved their wands from time to time, as if they were checking something. (End of chapter)
